Congress Urged to Recognize the Beginning of Ramadan

(CNSNews.com) - An Islamic advocacy group is urging American Muslims "and other people of conscience" to contact their elected representatives and urge them to sign a House resolution recognizing the upcoming fast of Ramadan -- and commending Muslims for their faith.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations calls the resolution an important tool for encouraging dialogue between Muslims and their elected officials, as well as enhancing understanding of the Islamic faith.

The resolution, which expresses the opinion of Congress, mentions threats and attacks directed at members of the Islamic faith since the 9/11 terror attacks.

It then resolves that:

"(1) during this time of conflict, in order to demonstrate solidarity with and support for members of the community of Islam in the United States and throughout the world, the House of Representatives recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world; and

"(2) in observance of and out of respect for the commencement of Ramadan...the House of Representatives acknowledges the onset of Ramadan and expresses its deepest respect to Muslims in the United States and throughout the world on this significant occasion."

Ramadan is expected to begin on October 4 or 5 this year, depending on the sighting of the new moon. It is the month in which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures from dawn to sunset for the sake of spiritual renewal.

CAIR said it is asking mosques and Islamic centers nationwide to host a "Sharing Ramadan" Iftar, or fast-breaking meal, to enhance understanding of Islam and to encourage Americans of all faiths meet their Muslims neighbors.

I don't see it as a big deal and what would it hurt to "recognize" the "holiday". However, the motivation behind it and the attempt to make it more than mere recognition, is bullsh**. Screw you, Akbar.

Congress Urged to Recognize the Beginning of Ramadan
By Susan Jones

September 26, 2005

(CNSNews.com) - An Islamic advocacy group is urging American Muslims "and other people of conscience" read "traitors"to contact their elected representatives and urge them to sign a House resolution recognizing the upcoming fast of Ramadan -- and commending Muslims for their faith. Fuck that, whats next commending the Japanese for their Bushido spirit during WWII?

The Council on American-Islamic Relations calls the resolution an important tool for encouraging dialogue between Muslims and their elected officials, as well as enhancing understanding of the Islamic faith.I understand it, it hates me, and wants me to die if I don't want to become a RoPer...

The resolution, which expresses the opinion of Congress, mentions threats and attacks directed at members of the Islamic faith since the 9/11 terror attacks.What about all the attacks on infidels (read non-muslims) by muslims since 9/11?

It then resolves that:

"(1) during this time of conflict, in order to demonstrate solidarity with and support for members of the community of Islam in the United States and throughout the world, the House of Representatives recognizes the Islamic faith as one of the great religions of the world; andFuck this too, I have no solidarity or support for the community of islam, anywhere

"(2) in observance of and out of respect for the commencement of Ramadan...the House of Representatives acknowledges the onset of Ramadan and expresses its deepest respect to Muslims in the United States and throughout the world on this significant occasion."I piss on thier fucking holidays and their beliefs, no respect here, and I piss on them...

Ramadan is expected to begin on October 4 or 5 this year, depending on the sighting of the new moon. It is the month in which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures from dawn to sunset for the sake of spiritual renewal.Let 'em keep abstaining...forever. Then they can renew their spirit with allah, and not bother us anymore

CAIR said it is asking mosques and Islamic centers nationwide to host a "Sharing Ramadan" Iftar, or fast-breaking meal, to enhance understanding of Islam and to encourage Americans of all faiths meet their Muslims neighbors.Yeah, what CAIR didn't say is it wants its people to kill their infidel neighbors...

Unbelieveable...death by inches from the enemy within...

Do you remember the court decision which stated that a student led Christian prayer before a ballgame at school was a violation of one guy's freedom from religion, yet another court ruled shortly after that Muslims using loudspeakers at a high volume for the day's prayers was protected religious expression?

That's what I'm saying. It always seems some proponent of another (usually violent or bogus) religion is demanding the application of that principle to Christianity. If the "establishment" is anything other than Christianity no one seems to care.

Rather than demonizing a religion, why not just say it like it is? Expel the Arabs from the US and call it a day. We put the Japanese in internment camps during WWII, how hard would it be to round up the Arabs and send them to the ME?

You said it better than I did.
Nothing wrong with recognizing it, except for the attempt to make it more then a recognition.
However, I do think the idea of opening the mosques and the eid up to others is a good idea.
I have attended the Eid at my professors house and it was a pretty good time.
Talked a lot of politics, lot of good food with the exception of the desserts - too sweet for me.

There is a problem with your proposal...

The majority of Arabs in the United States are not Muslim.

You people make me sick!!

Bunch o racists bigots the lot of ya!

You want them to hate us more???? WWJD??!! So you want to cook pork to disrespect Islam, that is disgusting!

Any Anthropologist or educated person (unlike you jackasses) will tell you that Muslims won't eat pork because to them it's tantamount to cannabalism. In futherance of Dialouge and understanding between the Muslim community and Infidel-Americans I suggest we together celebrate a Hajj ritual on Oct 10th. In this case i recommend Sacraficing a goat, which is done by all observant Muslims in Mecca. Slitting a goats throat and offering it to the moon god will bring Infidels and Dhimmi closer to the Truth of Islam. Now May I finish with some magic Vowels from the Q'uran - UMMM DAGAGAGA KAKAKAKAKA BABOOOSHKA, Amin!

I hope this is a joke. Sacrificing goats? Why not virgins?

Otherwise, the day ANYONE tells me when I can and cannot have pork is the day I die. Come to think of it, that's what the ROP is all about. How about you eating some pork to try to uncerstand why I love it so much? How about that? How about Muslims go to synague WITHOUT the aim of killing everyone there? How about letting me go to Mecca to see what's going on, to see the history and culture?

And as for uneducated jackasses, not being fond of a particular religion is not racist. Islam is not a race, you fucktard. But of course they don't teach that in the Madrasah.

ETA: Guess you aren't gonna find too many goats lining up to become Muslims...

Besides Sliting goat throats is good practice for...............
